Brian Tee hasn’t entirely stayed away from the Windy City since he left Chicago Med in 2022. Following his departure from the NBC drama, where he played Dr. Ethan Choi for seven-and-a-half seasons, the actor has returned to Med twice to direct episodes. But what about reprising his role for a guest spot?
There’s always conversation [about] returning on screen,
Tee told TVLine at the inaugural Gotham TV Awards on June 4. The actor was in attendance to help present the Spotlight Tribute to Lulu Wang, creator of Prime Video’s Expats, on which Tee starred opposite Nicole Kidman.
It’s interesting. I think, every season, Chicago Med goes through a bit of a flux,
mentioning that while he enjoys returning as a director, there is always talk and potential for an on-screen return if the right storyline comes along.
He even had thoughts on what might bring Dr. Choi back:
I think probably the hospital needs help. Some kind of tragedy is about to happen, some kind of major catastrophe drama,
he imagined, suggesting the possible reunion of many beloved characters like Will Halstead and April Sexton to tackle significant challenges.
